This is an oil on paper sized 9 by 12 inches.The reference was taken from a picture taken by me at Luray Caverns, located in Luray, Virginia. Luray Caverns was discovered in 1878 and is one of Virginia's most famous natural wonders.It is an amazing experience to see and enjoy the great stalactites, stalagmites and columns located in the caverns. The largest water body in the caverns, the dream lake, reflects a myriad of fantastic forms, reflecting the abundant stalactites hanging from the ceiling.
It appeared to me as if God was in the mood of creating an abstract art, as abstract and complex as a human! Probably the colors, shapes and textures were all pre planned with the finesse of an artist and executed to perfection, resulting in an act of absolute creative intelligent design.. a design so complex and hard to understand :-)
I like your blue and yellow palette and a perfect title! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI love the bold and vibrant colors of your work Padmaja!I commend you on choosing such complex looking structures and coming up with such a lovely piece.Perfectly titled!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be an avid traveller.Great.It must have been a sight to see the stalactites and stalagmites .Lucky us to see the reproduction.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Padmaja.
ReplyDeleteI like reading your thoughts as much as I like your artwork! Your portrayal of the stalactites and stalagmites is perfect! I admire how you let your creativity guide you.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent observation and interpretation!! Beautifully painted, Padmaja!!
ReplyDeleteYour life is truly "a rainbow". The ice caves were so beautifully painted and explained. I loved the extra symbolism you gave this piece, Padmaja!
ReplyDeleteThe subject lends itself to abstract interpretation and you have done it great justice.

Beautiful painting Padmaja!! Awesome colors.
ReplyDeletePadmaja, I can well understand why you would think of it that way... I just love your interpretation of subjects..
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and textures :)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have been visited some interesting places and I always enjoy your artistic portrayal of them. Wonderful colors and thoughts about God's creation.
ReplyDeletewow, I really like this...
ReplyDeleteI see more than caverns in this. I see canyons and a swamp and an ant's-eye view of grasses. So many visions this could be. The color and shapes draw me right in, Padmaja. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou did an excellent job on this! I love the colors and shapes!
ReplyDeletePadmaja your bold colors never fail to attract!
ReplyDeleteA glorious palette of colors, Padmaja!
ReplyDeleteGod is truly a Master Artist.
Beautiful, Pad! Such lively, rich colors and interesting forms.
ReplyDeleteHi,how are you
ReplyDeletethis is simply awesome ,I like the way you used the colors and the brush strokes Padmaja.
This one is stunning, Padmaja. I would love to see a huge one like this on my walls. How do you manage to do oils on paper? Im my experience, the oils tend to bleed the paper, leaving a wet-looking mark. Or is this a special paper for oils?
ReplyDeleteColor is so bold makes me think of life
